Summary
Oneshot about Harry finding himself after the war and finally coming home. It's fluffy, hints of a romantic relationship but you can ignore.

Summary
“Listen,” Pepper says. “I’m at the food bank right now and Ms. Zavala from R&D called in sick. She has two students coming in this morning to be interviewed for the internship, 9 AM. I won’t be back in time, so if you could just talk to them, or at least start with the first one, until I get back.”
Tony processes all that a moment.
“Tony?” she asks.
“You’re at the food bank? How much do I pay you?”
She gives another little huff. “Charity, Tony. Did any of the actually important things I just said register in your brain?”
“Oh, all right. Consider it my charity work for today.”

Summary
“Mr. Evans,” Ollivander said, smiling wider. “Any relation to Lily Evans?”
“Who?”Harry Evans was almost like any other boy growing up in Cokeworth. He lived alone in a house nobody else could see, he stole food from the supermarket and never got caught, and he had a little brother who had been hidden after the night their mother was killed. Harry was a secret, and he promised not to tell.
A letter in an empty vault, a small boy with broken glasses, a portrait of a scowling girl. As Harry begins unraveling his own past, the threat against his brother grows.
How long will his secrets keep when Harry is the only one standing between his brother and the world?
A story about family, friendship, growing up, and, of course, the most powerful magic of all

Summary
Harry Potter no longer has any fucks to give. That’s it. That’s the plot. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
((And all because Death does something absolutely fucking stupid behind Harry’s back.))
Or; Harry dies and wakes up back in the cupboard underneath the stairs. Fed up of being thrown around like a dogs chew toy, both literally and figuratively, Harry takes matters into his own hands and changes the future as we know it.
((Helping Voldemort may not have been on his initial plans, but here he was. ))
